New Fantasy Team: Old Head Killers
As a few TGIF long time readers know, I'm a fantasy sports addict. This year Jameel from Eighty81 invited me to his league. He's the reigning champ. But he obviously doesn't know about my decorated past.

Lord forgive him because he knows not what he did...awakened the kid!

We had the draft yesterday. Here's my squad:


OLD HEAD KILLERS

QB - DREW BREES

Why?: Because that's that DUDE! Plus he's throwing to Bush, Colston, McAllister + Patton. Oww!

RB - Stephen Jackson

Why?: Just signed that new big boy contract! Plus the Madden curse is over.

RB - Thomas Jones

Why?: NY + Megan Good = Got my vote

WR - Wes Welker

Why?: Sleeper pick last year. This year he's everybody's favorite white boy. I know its anti-New Yorkian to have Bostonians on your team. But I'll make an exception.

WR - Donald Driver

Why?: Aaron Rodgers needs a familiar face to throw it too. Why not the old head?

WR - Jerry Porter

Why?: New team. New Money. 1000 yards.


TE - Randy McMichael

Why? This is my sleeper draft pick. Randy is going to be a top 5 TE ext year. Mark my words!


DEFENSE - NEW YORK GIANTS

Why?: No Osi? No Strahan? No problem. We didn't become the champions for nothing. THE GIANTS PLAY IN NEW YORK!!!!


BENCH


Selvin Young - If Thomas Jones starts partying too much, Young is right in there

Aaron Rodgers - The Anti Old Head

Ahmad Bradshaw - Wait til my man come home!


Atwaan Randle El - Anothr Old Head for the bench

Armani Toomer - Can never have enough Giants

Desmond Clark
- Just in case I'm wrong about McMichael

Shaun Alexander
- SOMEONE is gonna give him a chance, and when his stock rises...Ima trade him!

I RODE THE TRAIN TO PREVENT THIS!!!!


Above Text: AT TPO RESPONDENT WAS OBSERVED RIDING UNSAFE WITHOUT AUTHORIZATION OF MTA/NYPD PERSONNEL CREATING HAZARDOUS CONDITION

I drive. I'm stopped. Frequently. I'm arrested.

Ok. Fine.

I ride a bike. I'm stopped. I'm summoned.

Fool me twice, shame on me.

But come the f on! Going thru the cars on the train is illegal?!?!?! Where the hell was I? I know riding in between is, but just passing thru?

Thanks Officer Rahilly (Badge #2000)
Thanks Officer Payne (Badge #24311)

Now when people google your names, they can see how their tax payer money is being spent

Just Wanna Do Hoodrat Things With My Firm
Last night, I did the same run as the infamous Max B shooting: Comix for Cipha's Comedy Show then SOBs for Blitz The Ambassador



Didn't stay long for Cipha's show. Saw this one comic who did the best Funkmaster Flex impression ever. Then his son came out to perform after him. TI was there as well as a bunch of good friends. But had to jet to SOBs for

Now Blitz show is ill. He ODs and brings out a crazy band everytime. Janelle Monet introduced him and I kicked it with Mickey Factz for a while congratulating him on his newest single. Also saw blogmate Yellow Rebel and a few Twitter friends.

Now the real fun begins.

Stopped for nourishment @ Pop Burger. Played "who can make the angry waitress laugh first" game. Then around the block to Plumm aka the most likely club to have photos on youknowyoudeadazzwrong.com


The girl in the pic is Chrissy. Not that Chrissy.But Christina of The Famous Firm. She looks very happy and sober in our crew shots.




But at the night goes along


She starts to lose it



Until its all over



Cue N.E.R.D.

"Niggas will learn...trillaaa"
No commentary needed for this

Article via HipHopDX

According to DJ Vlad's complaint letter that he shared with HipHopDX, Ross "lured DJ Vlad to a meeting for the purpose of obtaining retribution" during the TJs DJs/Ozone Awards weekend. Ross initially made contact with Vlad via text message on August 10th saying "Niggas will learn...trillaaa." After Vlad responded, not knowing who the text was from, Ross responded by saying "Ross...im hearing things." Ross then called Vlad and said, among other things, "I've been hearing things about me on your website...We gonna make a story...We going to see each other... We going to talk...Where are you?" Both realized they were in Houston for the Ozone Awards and arranged a meeting on the 2nd floor of the Hilton Americas - where the TJs DJs Conference was being held. Ross, accompanied by at least four others, told Vlad "We got beef," and shortly after those with Ross attacked Vlad while Ross watched.

Vlad is seeking $2 million in compensatory damages and $2 million in punitive damages.

Im Gettin Money Feat. Freck Bill - Dj Drama Fabolous
I'm gettin money heres my explanation
The Lambo is Milked out No expiration
and I aint ask for an estimation
I just pass the cake off, No hesitation. Ya' see im nothing like
Yall guys, i just do the stuntin' yall niggas fall guys
And everyday i get the Benny washed
Its Deja Vu' like Denny Wash
The Budgets too big Billionaire'll hurt a label
Play it tight spray the creed on the Purple label,
Pave' set me and Jacob got me linked up
The bentley wag' bullet proof like a Brinks truck
CVL we don't care what ya homies sell
Rubberbands round' the stacks like a ponytail
I can meet a hoe sweeter then Damita Joe
She act conceited tho her number get deleted yo
Im not a musician but i play a instrument
The raging bull handle any kind of incident
The Black latex D's cant get the prints
The Flying Spur so fly I had to get the Bent
Got initials on the door scrap
Initials on the floormats
I aint braggin' homeboy this my format
The 22's look like they ridin' on four flats
Young octopus I carry arms
I charter challengers wit' Cavali carry-on's
Freck Billionaire I'm the one with the bling
Got canaries on the wrist, not the one's wit the wings
Look a real hood nigga
I got a Lavish flow
I can put you in the Theater's like Magic tho
You dont want beef, you just want rap
I'll get ya little ass smoked like a blunt wrap
CVL spray what the fuck did you thought
I tote the Sig but I dont mean Newport
I wash my money up the laundry way
I stay Gucci'd down even on my laundry day
The linen clean, splash of Grenadine
The double blue sixty two smash ya limousine
You can set trip but i got the ammo' near
A bad Alibi switching up the Lambo Gears
These other rap niggas they couldn't hold the candle near
They got it all screwed up like Chandeliers

Al Be @ SOBs Last Night



*All photos courtesy of Moises De Pena

Last night I went to Hot 97's Old Hea...err....old school show at SOBs. Can't lie, didn't go to see anyone but Al Be Back.


Al Be's from the Bronx, but you might know him from ATL


Or maybe from Def Poetry Jam


Either way, the show was dope. We're working on the new mixtape now so I'll keep you posted.

Also below is a couple of random youtubes from Al Be getting his Dany Glover on in NYC. I tried to talk to him. Filmed from a Helio by Helio Hov

Live Blogging XVIBE 15th Aniversary Juice Issue


Its a double sided multi cover issue. So I'll start with the special edition side:

12:24pm: There are 20 pages (!!!) of Rocawear Eveloution ads. Gonna put up one for free. I'm sure some Hova stan will upload all of them. But Rocawear doesn't have any ads here. It's a mix of Jay-Z + Joy Bryant


12:27pm:
Diddy article is a snooze fest. Doesn't say anything you haven't heard before. Harlem this, Bad Boy that, 15 years we won't stop. The end

12:31pm: Tyler Perry article is boring. Maybe Eryah Badu has something more interesting to say. Whoa she's 37?! Go Old Head! Besides that, nothing you don't know already

12:36pm: "I started off break dancing..." -Shaq. I dunno why that's so funny to me


12:50pm: White girl Beyonce on originals, "Those who start the trends and break the mold. There are people who I love, but pure originals? Prince. Madonna. I think Kanye..."


12:59pm: T-Pain + Birdman + Teri Woods + Mara Brock Akil + Ice Cube + Funkmaster Flex + Sway = ZzzzZZZZzzzzzzZZzz

1:03pm: 'What's the key to your track record?' "I don't take any shorts. I don't say "Okay, it's good enough". I try to get exactly what I'm hearing in my head to the tape, and I won't let it move until then. In my opinion, some of the hip hop records that come out, people are willing to compromise. I'm not" -Dr. Dre

1:16pm The power of the C-A-S-S-I


1:24pm Ok. This is starting to get boring. Let's go right to the Jay article


1:36pm: I'm glad Vibe got Elliot Wilson to do the article. Only he would bring up Word To The Jaz


1:44pm: "I have a relationship with Bill Clinton. I'm cool with Bill. We've had multiple conversations. He frequents the restaurant that I own. But immediately, it was no problem for me because at the end of the day, race is more important then gender" = Bros over Hoes


1:55pm NahRight posted up the Jay-Z cover + excerpts as well. They're questioning the legitamicy of live blogging a magazine. But you can live blog anything. Hence Twitter. Thats like LiveBlogging.com

2:00pm "I had no intention to talk about the DeShawn Stevenson thing. I seen him beating the shit out of LeBron, and he really couldn't do nothing. I really wanted to inspire LeBron. I sent him the freestyle. The song wasn't to be released. I sent him the song to get him amped up. I do shit like that" . In that case, the Knicks need a double album.



2:20pm
"Any second guessing went away when Dame was participating in the whole beef with Cam'Ron. Regardless, what we built, is still precious. At the end of the day, there's still a respect in that. No matter what! i'm not going to do certain things or say certain things about Dame. That's out of respect for what we've done. I'm not going to go too far. And I just felt like any participation in that, whether you could stop it or not, if you're in the video or you're on the set or you're involved in that, then I pretty much made the right decision because a person that carries that forever will respect that situation." C'mon Jay. You gotta admit this video is pretty funny


3:07pm: I dunno how much I can take Gravy/Biggie thing. But Faith is looking smashable (no berg)


3:17pm
Shocking! A Obama article. Gonna read this one on the run. See if there's anything worth quoting

Fat Joe, Young Jeezy, Lil Wayne Exposed?
In the age of Web 2.0, no one is safe from a possible exposure. It's hard to not be the next contestant on that Macbook screen. Just ask Rawse.


Which is why this new website, CriminalSearches.com, is perfect for any hip hop blogger. You can go from RSS flunkie to The Smoking Gun overnight! Found it reading the Sunday NY Times. I decided to "expose" some of my favorite gangster rappers, bloggers, high school classmates, ex-girlfriends, etc with the help of this site and Wikipedia.

I started with a search on myself: Randall Medford
Result: Nothing. My street cred is in the shitter


Next: Young Jeezy aka Mr. 17.5 aka Jay Jenkins


Result: 39 Results. None of which add up to Jeezy, who's birthday is 10/12/77. Guess Nas' candidate for Jesse Jackson's replacement isn't "real".


Next: Lil' Wayne aka Dwayne Carter Jr


Result: 34 Matches. None for Lil' Wayne.


Next: Fat Joe aka Jeoy Crack aka Joesph Cartagena


Result: 6 Matches. None Crackmania.


What does this all mean?

Absolutely nothing. Just because your favorite rapper didn't go to jail, doesn't mean his music is suddenly wack or not real. The only reason people get on Rick Ross is because he won't admit it. It's making rap not fun anymore. In the words of the late Heath Ledger, why so serious?
